The kitchen is well equipped with x2 freezers and fridges and drinks fridges galore (here and in the bar / games room). The dining room has the largest dining table Iâve ever seen outside a stately home and we had Lee Lance (private chef) cook a brilliant meal for us on the Saturday. The bedrooms and en-suites are large and luxurious with very comfortable beds. The games room / cinema room and cellar bar are brilliant. Our top area has to be the pool which is just amazing - large / warm / dressing room and loo in the same area / towels galore and inflatables galore - thereâs also a lovely sauna. Our grandchildren spent the weekend in the pool and didnât want to leave. Jay the owner was helpful and very informative as to how this listed farm building had undergone such a glorious transformation. A fabulous place to stay as a treat / celebration and we cannot recommend it highly enough. I hope we can go back for longer than a weekend in the future.

The house was furnished to a high standard and we all enjoyed the ample space. The swimming pool and sauna was a huge hit as was the games and cinema room. The bar downstairs was also a great feature! The added touches were thoughtful, all the floats in the pool area, robes and the Xbox and games, there was no need to bring any of our own entertainment! Sadly we did not get a chance to use the outdoor BBQ and firepit, maybe next time! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Everything was fitted out to an exceptionally high standard and everything had been thought of. The pool was obviously a huge hit, as was the cinema room and the party room. What a treat too for us all to sit around such a great big dining table. No need to leave the house at all!!
